{Disarmed} Re: Re: Flight of Butterflies

My experience with F of B is very similar to Bob's. It is small with
finer leaves than adjacent sibs. It is just hanging despite being sited
just above a load of well rotten manure I hurried dumped. Such is life
with a shortage of space!!

Mine too, if I recall correctly.  I did see a much more vigorous form in the Berkshire Botanic (western Mass.) which inspired me to buy my plant.   I would buy another if I was certain it was a better clone and would flower at least some years.  I put the original plant, now that I think of it, in the rock garden due to it's small size.  It has never flowered since and I actually do not know if it still exists.

 

I do agree with the comment on bigger being better as not always a good thing.  There will always be collectors, I suppose, though good garden plants are the survivors overtime.  I have reached the stage in the garden where a plant needing endless nursing just cannot remain in my garden.
